i am recovering from what may be my worst breakup yet but i dragged my ass back home to baltimore to spend easter (and what would have been our one year anniversary [lol]) with family and friends. i am very glad i didn't choose to spend it wallowing and spiraling in bed. taking my own advice of refusing to isolate and damn it was i correct that one time

going out with friends, seeing family, etc. might sound like too much for your body and mind during this time but i have always found it much too hard to Not think about people i've lost when i'm alone. dont let yourself fall into a trap of loneliness just because that's what you're feeling. surround yourself with others who love you (there are plenty!) whenever feasible. talk to them about it, or dont; whatever you think will help you. there have always been moments when i am with loved ones after a breakup when i can go even just 5 extra minutes without thinking about it than i would have sitting at home by myself, which is valuable even if you start thinking about it again immediately after. i dont suggest this in. a "just dont think about it" way, as that is impossible and silly, but i do think it helps to speed along the healing process. love is like a home remedy and u still have it all around u. hang in there!!!!

It’s been almost a month and I’ve finally taken down her pictures from my walls. It’s such a confusing thing to know this person better than I know anything or anyone, and suddenly to be cut off from her. still, I’m so lucky to be surrounded by amazingly supportive and loving friends — I would be in a sorry state if not for them.

Not in an escapist way, don’t avoid how you feel, but throw yourself into your hobbies, go on a trip with a friend, read lots, learn to play that instrument you haven’t touched in years again, go to your local botanic gardens and learn something new, do things that bring you joy and don’t let yourself wallow.
After my last bad breakup I thankfully had a Europe trip planned and one of the best things I did was allow myself in the quiet moments to be upset (e.g. crying listening to the album I associate with that breakup on a ferry between two Greek islands with my hair flying in the wind), but putting myself wholeheartedly into every experience and moment I could.
